For those who are looking to do this, the roller bearing details are listed in the video description.

Done this on my Husqvarna, and it made a big difference in steering, Great upgrade!

Great!

This worked great! I added these needle roller bearings and combined it with a steering wheel knob. Steering is much easier and I really notice a significant difference.

Great, I'm glad it worked out for you!

I just did this procedure on my Dixon tractor. Just love it!!! I'm 80 years old and any good relief is appreciated! THANX for the video!

​@@outdoorsinoregonI had trouble getting the grease caps back on so I made my own with large electrical shrink covering and 3/4 in. nipple with a cap. Works really well and easily put together! Again, THANX. 😊

I added the bearings to my Husqvarna TS-348D garden tractor. The steering effort was reduced from a real struggle to being able to steer with 2 fingers. Thanks for the info! This will help my old arms and shoulders. The dust caps are now loose and I will have to find a way to hold them on.

The wheel bearing conversion will be my next upgrade; a lot of people seem to have good results with the bearings. By the way, you can get replacement dust caps on Amazon: amzn.to/3VVtZwe

What engine is in the TS348D? Mine is the TS 354D, and has the Kohler 7000.

How much of a job was the wheel bearing mod?

As a Husqvarna owner, I find it amazing how cheaply mine is made. I have YTH24V54. I have had to build my own frame for it as mine was so thin it cracked in 4 places. I did the power steering fix two years ago as well as the ball bearings in the wheels. My right front wheel bushing wore out in less than a year and it wallowed out the wheel itself! The steering arms have bent, and that is just from driving it. I have never hit anything with them. My terrain is uneven but not grossly so. The only thing good about my mower is that the Briggs and Stratton engine always starts! I will never buy another Husqvarna.

Thank you for the comments. I have seen reports of cracked or bent frames, mostly related to front attachments. I've had some minor electrical issues with mine, but no mechanical issues at all.

I have the same mower, and it's a 2007 model. I've had none of those issues with it. I've not even had to replace a blade spindle. It has about 375 hours on it and is still cutting great.

Great video. Thank you for this!

Yeah, it was pretty cheap, pretty easy, and made a noticeable difference in steering effort.

I didn't notice much difference when I did mine like that. I guess greased bushings are pretty much just as smooth as bearings, but will help the shaft last longer.

Same, didn't notice much difference. Better, but not significantly so.

Next??? Wheel bearing upgrade?. Replace the sleeve bushing with bearings.

I'm strongly considering it. Stay tuned. 🙂

I did this on my J. Deere X320 recently. It had a 1/2" thick Plastic bushing on the spindle beneath the Axle Beam. I don't believe all JD tractors have this bushing. New bearings were $8.50 for 2 on Amazon. $73.00 plus tax at J.D. dealer! I installed the needle bearings after carefully greasing them. The needle bearings are also called Torrington Thrust Bearings..They fit well. I NOTICED NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL in Steering Effort. Very disappointing.

Interesting; I wonder if the plastic bushings create low friction contact similar to the roller bearings. Mine was difficult to steer at the start; there was a lot of down force pushing on metal-to-metal contact before installing the bearings. So, there was a noticeable improvement with the bearings in place.

@@outdoorsinoregon I believe the Plastic Bushings serve the same purpose. I have always jacked up the front end prior to greasing the spindles so the grease can get where it is needed.

Next Video how about one relating to a seat upgrade? Don't understand why other mowers have springs and all Husqvarna has is the 2 rubber pegs that make it feel like your riding a mechanical bull. Just a idea for a upcoming video. Thanks

Ok so as i watched your next video it shows springs on your model.

Well, I wouldn't be able to do that video because my seat already has springs as you can see from my review of this tractor: kzread.info/dash/bejne/loWi0LRpe93Zado.htmlsi=gW2yH75Q3328Z2Vp&t=504 I'm guessing the holes all line up and you can probably buy a garden tractor seat and bolt it in place of your current one.

Huh? My Husqvarna has springs, and so did the others that I looked at. I have a TS354D.

Wouldn’t those bearings get a lot of dirt in them? I know when mowing my yard, and the previous place I had too, there would be a lot of dirt kicked-up when mowing. I’d think the dirt would ruin them pretty quickly, but who knows.

Yes, but the Amsoil metal protector and periodic greasing will help prevent damage from water and dust.

What are the bearings called? Where do you buy them?
